I've been so busy in the past 2 months that I haven't baked that much. I just moved to a new place, and am still unpacking boxes at the new place. I've managed to finally bake something new this weekend!

Chocolate almond logs - yum. They are kinda like macarons (which I hate making fyi), since it uses lots of almond powder...but these won't crack on you. =] They are crunchy on the outside, and a lil chewy inside. I liked them, give it a try if you are an almond lover!

Recipe:

Ingredients:

2 large egg whites

1 cup of super fine sugar

1 3/4 cups of almond powder

1/2 tsp almond extract

4 oz semi sweet chocolate, coarsely chopped

Directions:

Preheat oven to 350 F.

Line two cookie sheets with parchment paper.

Beat the egg whites at high speed until stiff peaks form.

Using a rubber spatula, fold in sugar, almond powder, and almond extract.
